Kevin Harlan of CBS Sports gave Fox’s Erin Andrews’ role in the Richard Sherman interview a bad review.

“I don’t know if she was unprepared, her reaction was more about her than the guy,” Harlan told KDKA-FM (93.7), a Pittsburgh radio station. “It was very odd. If you go back and look at that interview . . . her reaction was more like drama queenish. If Michele Tafoya or someone like that were interviewing, I can’t help believe that she would have asked the appropriate follow-up and been a little bit more composed, whereas the gal that was asking the questions was almost like she was on a stage. It wasn’t about her, it’s all about him, and the more I think about it, the more irritated I get."

Harlan said Sherman mentioned 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree in his initial comment, so if Andrews had been listening, “she would have known that's who he was talking about, and yet she kind of provoked him even more.

“The consummate interviewer is a good listener,” Harlan said.

Harlan is to call his fourth straight Super Bowl on radio for Westwood One Sports. Boomer Esiason will be the game analyst. Former Packers wide receiver James Lofton, along with Mark Malone, will be a sideline reporter for the broadcast.
